So I am after some desperate advice because I feel like I am talking to a brick wall when it comes to my partner.
my partner has never stuck up for me when it comes his mother. We used to have a quite nice relationship and respected one another, but that changed once she found out I was pregnant. She then belittled me and made me feel worthless, so I stopped speaking to her for a time and avoided going to her home because of the way she made me feel.
my partner used to encourage me to go and speak to her and say because she has mental health she doesn’t have a filter and we should just make up and I did twice for his sake but then vocalised how I felt about it. I said no.
since then she has faked 3 mental health crisis and my partner is sticking up for her more than ever. He also would rather spend his time off work doing stuff for her, than spending time with his children. I see him for maybe an hour before he falls asleep on a evening when he finishes work, get no help with kids and household task,
where am I going wrong? I honestly feel like a single mother.
